A small piece of knowledge about popularizing Bitcoin mining.

Every day, approximately only 450 Bitcoins are mined worldwide.

The real key is not "who mines the most," but "who is mining."

Because the distribution of global computing power is extremely centralized: a few countries hold the vast majority of mining capacity.

Countries like China, the United States, Kazakhstan, Russia, and Iceland have some significant commonalities:
• The electricity price is relatively low (low generation costs, possibly more subsidies)
• Cold climate / good cooling conditions (reduce mining machine cooling costs)
• Stable energy and resources (sustainable power supply, easy access to the grid)

In fact, the real large-scale mining farms are not located in the city center, but are often hidden in the wilderness, next to hydropower stations, deep in the desert:
Next to the power plant, mining machines operate day and night, converging into an "invisible sea of computing power."
However, most ordinary people can only sit in front of the screen, watching the price fluctuations, thinking that mining is a personal activity.
In fact, it is more like a national-level resource competition:
Mastering the mining site = Mastering the computing power, mastering the computing power = Mastering the discourse power.
Therefore, rather than focusing on "how much has been mined", it is more worthwhile to pay attention to who is mining, where they are mining, and the geopolitical resource game behind it.

The following are the ten main Bitcoin mining countries in the world (estimated by computing power/hash rate):
1. The United States (United States) ≈ 30-40% of the global hash rate.
2. Russia (Russia) ≈ about 16 %.
3. China (though banned, still has underground/historical remnants) ≈ 12-21 %.
4. Kazakhstan (Kazakhstan) ≈ 13-15 %.
5. Canada (Canada) ≈ 7-10 %.
6. Malaysia (Malaysia) ≈ 2–3 %.
7. Germany (Germany) ≈ 2–3 %.
8. Iran (Iran) ≈ 2–3 %.
9. Sweden/Nordic country (e.g. Sweden) ≈ <1 %.
10. Thailand (Thailand) ≈ <1 %.
